  Marie is a 57-year-old female who is on your general medical-surgical unit with a bladder infection. Two weeks ago, she was having slight burning upon urination. She self-treated with an increased intake of cranberry juice, but did not see any improvement. In fact, her symptoms got worse.

She was admitted to your unit and started on multiple IV antibiotics. The doctors say that she could be developing a kidney infection.
